Grain D'Or bakery Review

Not much selection but I like what they have. Uncrowded. Rather dark inside.

Good place to quickly grab a decent quality food, very pleasant service and good bread. Clam chowder was OK but I'd not recommend it

Home of the ellusive bacon bread. Everything we tried here tased amazing. They dont use as much sugar as most amreican bakeries, wich is super! Slight con, they only have drip coffee. No espresso drinks.

I DROPPED IN--IN A HURRY TO FIND SOME BREAD. GOT THEIR LAST BAGUETTE (AS AN ASIDE, I ATE SOME WHEN I GOT HOME AND IT'S VERY GOOD BREAD--I'LL GET SOME AGAIN)--BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, I UNKNOWINGLY LEFT MY WALLET THERE---CALLED AFTER I DISCOVERED IT MISSING WHEN I UNPACKED MY PURCHASES AT HOME---THEY WAITED FOR ME AFTER CLOSING TIME, UNLOCKED THE DOOR AND HANDED ME MY UNTOUCHED WALLET. GOOD PEOPLE, WORTHY OF YOUR BUSINESS.

There are many delicious pastries along with very good soup and sandwiches.

This cute bakery is hidden in a strip mall, but don't let that keep you away from it. The inside decor is welcoming, and the sandwiches and breads they have are delicious. I've been twice already, and I definitely plan on going back.

Excellent food and service, a nice neighborhood breakfast joint

This place is great and I always buy my bread here. Great flavor, fresh and not too sweet and very comparable to bread in Europe. You can call ahead and order which is a great convenience!

I don't know what a cruffin is except it is Delicious!

One of the very few places in MTV with good sandwiches.

Simple bakery and coffee shop with excellent food and choices

Love coming here for breakfast. The place is spacious and offer good selection of pastries and sandwiches. The classic french cream bread is the best. Breakfast sandwiches are also great here!

Nice variety of breads, including some japanese pastries. They serve tea and coffee in colorful mugs, which is a nice detail.

Grain D'Or has wonderful breads and their sandwiches are delicious (love the turkey mozzarella sandwich). Their chocolate eclairs are scrumptious and very reasonably priced. They also offer special order sheet cakes with fresh strawberries and other fillings, we have used them for a family party, the cake was a big hit!

Prompt service. Excellent pastries. Sometimes, the choices are very limited and the pastries finish quickly.

This place is simply amazing! I ordered the Farmer's Chicken Salad sandwich and the Clam Chowder, which cost less than $10 total. While I would have preferred for the chowder to be a little thicker, the sandwich was perfect. I'll definitely be making this place one of my regular lunch spots.

I love wraps in here. Cause that was tasty! We can chose wheat or spinach wraps.

Tasteless sandwich on hard bread is what i didnt order but got.

Just had hot mozzarella and roasted eggplant sandwich. It's the best!

The shop has potential. The food is delicious, but it looks like it can be taken care of better on the inside

Nothing fancy, but tasty sandwiches and good cookies.

Had a great CA BLT, loaded w/greens and avocado & just the right amount of bacon. Friendly service & I like how they wrap the 2 halves of the sandwich separately so I can save 1/2 for later.

I had a really flavorful warm caprese sandwich with avacado. Fresh mozzarella and eggplant sandwich is the bomb though.

Bread is fresh and soft. Multigrain bread is really good.

V. tasty and fresh dishes. Though a bit on an expensive side but nevertheless totally worth the money for the quality. V. Nice, quite, clean ambiance. Polite and friendly staff. Sufficient parking.

Good bakery. Kind staff.good soup.I love here.
If anything, it's a French bakery.
It suits the taste of Japanese people. Bread is also sold. It also slices.

The cheese bread is awesome, plenty of great pastries.

3.5 stars
Fresh ingredients, bread from Andersen Bakery, there isn't anything to criticize except the lack of novelty. Don't get me wrong, the sandwiches here are solid, but I would love to see some specials specific to Grain D'or that would lure me back instead of offering sandwiches that I can get elsewhere for cheaper.

The sandwiches here are a tad expensive for the size although I was quite satisfied when I finished. I ordered the avocado and chicken sandwich with baguette. It tasted good, but was pretty plain.

This place had quite a few people reading books and doing work on their laptops although when I inquired about the FREE wifi, they said it wasn't being offered.

very delicious. Especially good is roasted hot sandwiches of mozzarella and eggplant. The shop assistant feels good and is my favorite shop.

Words can not begin to tell you how great their sandwich Grain D'Or feast is ,

Nice enough pastry shop. Fair prices. Didn't care for the flan.

Excellent sandwich, you wouldn't guess from the outside

The cashier told customer he want to get tips ,buy one get one, pay him cash for tips

Their regular white bread is very, very similar to Japanese white bread ie shokupan style. Stretchy instead of American style spongy. I also love their paine de campagne for making superb sandwiches or open faced creations. For smaller purchases, they will cut the bread in half for you instead of taking the whole bread which is very convenient.

One of my favorite local bakeries. I get their white bread which does not contain milk. Consistently good pastries, too

Come here almost every weekday morning, love the Smoked bacon egg sandwich and creamy french. Recommended.

Great cake and snack selection. hard to find if you come in from the back parking.

Under new management. New menu. Slightly better than airplane food. Cashier has trouble communicating.

I searched for a cake to buy around the place I live and I was incredibly glad to find Grain d'Or: it is a branch from a European-style Japanese bakery that you can also find in various places in Japan. The cake was awesome -- very unlike the cakes I find in the US which I tend not to like -- it was much closer to what you'd get in a very good bakery in France or Germany. Of course I went back later and tried various types of bread and other sweets and they were great. If you live in the area, stop by Grain D'Or to check it and if you go there, also try Nijiya market, which is in the same area.

This was my first time here. I had a cup of soup and a sandwich. The soup was alright, but not amazing. The sandwich was really good. The sourdough bread that came with the soup was great.

Cute bakery with tasty sandwiches. A great selection of breads, pastries, and cakes. The coffee is good and the staff is friendly. I like that they have more than one veggie sandwich option. My favorite is the roasted tomato capres.

I dropped by for a tuna sandwich and coffee and it was great. Service is very friendly and fast.

Excellent Dutch crunch pork belly sandwich. Served hot of course!

Friendly staff and fast service. Plenty of parking in the plaza. Food is great too!

The chocolate ganache cake melts in your mouth. The best cake I have ever had!

Apparently this outpost of Andersen Bakery opened here in early 2008, but I only discovered it a few weeks ago. It's in a really run-down strip mall. The strip mall is unfriendly and uninviting with no people walking around, but going into Grain D'Or is like going to another world. It's warm, cozy, and spacious, with relaxing music and a good color palette -- in other words it's a great place to hang out. There are plenty of staff, and they're very friendly and helpful. The smells are of baking breads and brewing coffee, and it feels like it was lit by an experienced lighting designer, not a summer intern.

The breads and pastries are great: flaky croissants, moist rolls, awesome sandwiches. The an pan is the best I've had in Northern California: a slight crispiness on the surface, which leads to soft bread and a tasty red bean filling. Everything is very clean and beautifully presented.

It's easy to get here from 85 or 237, there's the fabulous Chaat Paradise, a Nijiya market, and a 24-hour Walgreens in the same strip mall, and there's an In-and-Out Burger a block away.

Also, the Stevens Creek Trail was recently extended to El Camino Real, and Grain d'Or is only a 5 minute walk north on El Camino from that trail entrance. If you're biking to downtown Mountain View and want a change of pace, take a relaxing ride a bit farther along the trail and try this out.

Good bakery that is part of Andersen's now so even more options for food. Specially love their pastries including the strawberry shortcake and scones. The bread options are great too. Service is reasonably ok and there is enough parking around.

Great quality cakes, pastries, and breads. Chocolate Ganache and cappuccino cakes among my favorites . This is Anderson bakery . I don't know why they changed the name here Four and half

This is worth standing in line for, best bakery here in SF and worth every calorie. The croissants just melt in your mouth. We are very lucky here in CA. Thank you for the sweet and buttery greatness. :)

Hiroshima Andersen cafe & bakery.
The cafe space is large and the clerk is friendly and friendly.
